In the Italian city of Padua, a rich young man named Lucentio arrived with his servants, Tranio and Biondello, to attend the local university. Lucentio is excited to begin his studies, but his priorities change when he sees Bianca, a Beautiful, mild young woman with whom Lucentio instantly falls in love. There are two problems: first, Bianca already has two suitors, Gremio and Hortensio; second, Bianca's father, a wealthy old man named Baptista Minola, has declared that no on may court Bianca until first her older sister, the vicious, ill-tempered Katherine, is married. The Katherine problem is solved when Hortensio's friend Petrychio, a brash young man from Verona, arrives in Padua to find a wife. He intends to marry a rich woman, and does not care what she is like as long as she is willing to bring him a fortune.
